      If the Democrats were a serious political party aiming at power (instead of a job program for insiders), they would think about how Feinstein's hug of Lindsey Graham hurt them with down ballot voters.pic.twitter.com/0sIaIIk884

      A serious political party that aims to govern always puts the interest of the party ahead of individuals: they retire the old and recruit the young. When a member doesn't serve the party, they get booted. Look at what the Tories did to Thatcher.

      It's amazing to think that in the years when the GOP consolidated a super-majority in the Supreme Court through ruthless gaming of the system, the Democratic leader on judicial issues was someone who, for sake of her own health, should have retired.

      What is a political party? Is it a jobs program with seniority for long-time members? Or does it have a set of principles it seeks to advance, which can be served by retiring those too old to serve and actively recruiting the young?

      Beyond this photograph, consider the fact that the nomination of Amy Coney Barrett was a big deal, that Feinstein's inept handlings of the hearings were so bad that Barrett's approval rose markedly. Consider how that impacted Senate races.pic.twitter.com/GvGZirya7e

      are we sure that it did? I'd be more easily convinced re Kavanaugh

      I'd like to understand the mechanisms by which Feinstein's handling of the Barrett nomination had (a) any impact on outcome of hearing; (b) caused Gideon to underperform expectations, was anyway determinative in SC senate race, but still left two GA senate races in runoffs.

      Through the course of the hearing opposition to ACB decreased and support for her increased. It's hard not to see how this wouldn't motivate GOP and demotivate Dems. https://morningconsult.com/2020/10/21/supreme-court-hearings-barrett-confirmation-polling/ …

      Over the course of the hearing and the hug not the same thing?

      I think the hug was the icing on the cake of an ineptly handled hearing.

          Ok but just a long way from their to decisive swing in voting of SC voters. maybe? But haven’t seen evidence beyond takes.

          Jeet said it likely hurt dems down ballot not that it was the decisive blow in specific races

          You think anyone but news junkies, which are maybe 5% of Americans, knew about this hug?
